Having just moved to Florida from New Jersey, we were afraid we would miss our "jersey tomatoes" this season, so we ordered this set-up from you. So far, all is working well - the trolley, planting container, trellis and plants are all looking good. Now we're just waiting for the crop to come in!

This was the worst tomato plant I have ever purchased, and for the cost, you are better off buying a lesser cost tomato plant and have better luck. This plant grew thick and tall, and even had flowers, but only yielded ONE tomato the entire season. The tomato took forever to ripen and when it did, had no flavor. I sprayed flowers with blossom set, and still no fruit. I also purchased the cherry tomato plant, and the cherry plant was worth every penny. Had TONS of cherry tomatoes. Next year I will buy two cherry tomato plants, skip the bush.

I've grown tomatoes for years on my 23rd floor Brooklyn terrace. These were easy to grow, but taste awful, whether cooked or raw - tried at various times in the growing season. At this point, they are just ornamental.ps: the yellow cherry tomatoes are great!!

Looking forward to eating these great tomatoes and hopefully they will be as advertised. The Veg Trug is not all that big so I'm hoping these plants will not get too big. I have also planted peppers, radishes, cucumbers, lettuce and spinach.
